Slitless spectrometers can provide simultaneous imaging and spectral data over an extended field of view, thereby allowing rapid data acquisition for extended sources. In some instances, when the object is greatly extended or the spectral dispersion is too small, there may be locations in the focal plane where contributions from emission lines at different wavelengths contribute. It is then desirable to unfold the overlapped regions in order to isolate the contributions from the individual wavelengths. In this paper, we describe a method for such an unfolding, using an inversion technique developed for an extreme ultraviolet imaging spectrometer and coronagraph named the COronal Spectroscopic Imager in the EUV (COSIE). The COSIE spectrometer wavelength range (18.6 - 20.5 nm) contains a number of strong coronal emission lines and several density sensitive lines. We focus on optimizing the unfolding process to retrieve emission measure maps at constant temperature, maps of spectrally pure intensity in the Fe XII and Fe XIII lines and density maps based on both Fe XII and Fe XIII diagnostics.

The Los Alamos National Laboratory designed and built Mars Odyssey Neutron Spectrometer (MONS) has been in excellent health operating from February 2002 to the present. MONS measures the neutron leakage albedo from galactic cosmic ray bombardment of
Mars. These signals can indicate the presence of near-surface water deposits on Mars, and can also be used to study properties of the seasonal polar CO$_2$ ice caps. This work outlines a new analysis of the MONS data that results in new and extended time-series maps of MONS thermal and epithermal neutron data. The new data are compared to previous publications on the MONS instrument. We then present preliminary results studying the inter-annual variability in the polar regions of Mars based on 8 Mars-Years of MONS data from the new dataset.
One of the key processes associated with the standard flare model is chromospheric evaporation, a process where plasma heated to high temperatures by energy deposition at the flare footpoints is driven upwards into the corona. Despite several decades
of study, a number of open questions remain, including the relationship between plasma produced during this process and observations of earlier superhot plasma. Hinode/EIS has a wide slot often used as a flare trigger in the He II emission line band. Once the intensity passes a threshold level, the study switches to one focussed on the flaring region. However, when the intensity is not high enough to reach the flare trigger threshold, these datasets are available during the entire flare period and provide high-cadence spectroscopic observations over a large field of view. We use one-minute cadence data from two such studies of a C4.7 flare and a C1.6 flare to probe the relationship between hot Fe XXIV plasma and plasmas observed by RHESSI and XRT to track where the emission comes from, and when it begins. Although the spatial and spectral information are merged in the wide-slot data, it is still possible to extract when the hot plasma appears using the Fe XXIV spectral image. It is also possible to derive spectrally pure Fe XXIV light curves from the EIS data, and compare them with those derived from hard X-rays, enabling a full exploration of the evolution of hot emission. The Fe XXIV emission peaks just after the peak in the hard X-ray lightcurve; consistent with an origin in the evaporation of heated plasma following the transfer of energy to the lower atmosphere. A peak was also found for the C4.7 flare in the RHESSI peak temperature, which occurred before the hard X-rays peaked. This suggests that the first peak in hot-plasma emission is likely directly related to the energy-release process.
We investigate the optical properties of the solar gravitational lens (SGL) with respect to an extended source located at a large but finite distance from the Sun. The static, spherically symmetric gravitational field of the Sun is modeled within the
first post-Newtonian approximation of the general theory of relativity. We consider the propagation of monochromatic electromagnetic (EM) waves near the Sun. We develop, based on a Mie theory, a vector theory of diffraction that accounts for the refractive properties of the solar gravitational field. The finite distance to a point source can be accounted for using a rotation of the coordinate system to align its polar axis with the axis directed from the point source to the center of the Sun, which we call the optical axis. We determine the EM field and study the key optical properties of the SGL in all four regions formed behind the Sun by an EM wave diffracted by the solar gravity field: the shadow, geometric optics, and weak and strong interference regions. Extended sources can then be represented as collections of point sources. We present the power density of the signal received by a telescope in the image plane. Our discussion concludes with considering the implications for imaging with the SGL.
We present the results of Galaxy Nurseries project, which was designed to enable crowdsourced analysis of slitless spectroscopic data by volunteer citizen scientists using the Zooniverse online interface. The dataset was obtained by the WFC3 Infrared
Spectroscopic Parallel (WISP) Survey collaboration and comprises NIR grism (G102 and G141) and direct imaging. Volunteers were instructed to evaluate indicated spectral features and decide whether it was a genuine emission line or more likely an artifact. Galaxy Nurseries was completed in only 40 days, gathering 414,360 classifications from 3003 volunteers for 27,333 putative emission lines. The results of Galaxy Nurseries demonstrate the feasibility of identifying genuine emission lines in slitless spectra by citizen scientists. Volunteer responses for each subject were aggregated to compute $f_{mathrm{Real}}$, the fraction of volunteers who classified the corresponding emission line as Real. To evaluate the accuracy of volunteer classifications, their aggregated responses were compared with independent assessments provided by members of the WISP Survey Science Team (WSST). Overall, there is a broad agreement between the WSST and volunteers classifications, although we recognize that robust scientific analyses typically require samples with higher purity and completeness than raw volunteer classifications provide. Nonetheless, choosing optimal threshold values for $f_{mathrm{Real}}$ allows a large fraction of spurious lines to be vetoed, substantially reducing the timescale for subsequent professional analysis of the remaining potential lines.
We investigate the absolute calibration of the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on Hinode by comparing EIS full-disk mosaics with irradiance observations from the EUV Variability Experiment (EVE) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory. We also use ultra-dee
p (>10^5s) exposures of the quiet corona above the limb combined with a simple differential emission measure model to establish new effective area curves that incorporate information from the most recent atomic physics calculations. We find that changes to the EIS instrument sensitivity are a complex function of both time and wavelength. We find that the sensitivity is decaying exponentially with time and that the decay constants vary with wavelength. The EIS short wavelength channel shows significantly longer decay times than the long wavelength channel.
